Severe Storms Along the SD-NE Border

Here's a look at the current severe storms along the Nebraska border. These are going to stick mainly where they are, this is almost what we call a "training effect." This is an area where the storms just keep on developing on the backside as the front storm pushes East. This results in the same areas seeing rain for long periods of time. So as the first storm moves off it will seem to somewhat die down but then the rain will seem to pick up again because the next storm is forming and intensifying right as the last storm moves off. This can sometimes result in flash flood situations because the rain doesn't have enough time to drain before the next storm on the backside starts up again. Plus these storms are quite intense with heavy rain and severe size hail above an inch. Those green triangles on top of the radar indicate where it's likely hail is falling. 20 miles South of Valentine, NE saw 2.4" of rain in 30 minutes along with pea size hail around 6pm today just from one of the storm cells. Near Nenzel picked up over 1.50 inches of rain from this whole system so far.

We'll see how these progress but most of SD should stay dry tonight, we'll see rain tomorrow mainly in the West however and that will push East during the overnight and into Monday.
